Description

Set the maximum time, in milliseconds, that SQLite will wait for a
dbhandle to become ready for use.

Parameters

dbhandle

The SQLite Database resource; returned from sqlite_open()
when used procedurally. This parameter is not required
when using the object-oriented method.

milliseconds

The number of milliseconds. When set to
0, busy handlers will be disabled and SQLite will
return immediately with a SQLITE_BUSY status code
if another process/thread has the database locked for an update.

opened.
